A term coined originally in Liverpool to group together a certain type of person through their clothes, language and ideals.

The male 'scally' can be easily recognised through his clothing and language used. Hair is to be short and thickly gelled, often accompanied by a cap (Burberry preferably) tilted at a 45 degree angle. Gold jewelly is a must, curb chains and bracelets mainly, but the sovereign ring must also be taken into account. A small hooped earring never goes amiss. Tops must be slightly baggy and carrying a latest brand name (at time of writing Henri Lloyd is popular). Polo shirts (Hackett) are also a popular motif of the scally, coupling heavy branding with an ability to lift the fold-over collar up around the neck. Tracksuit bottoms are the desirable trouser of choice, often being rolled into sport socks. Trainers must be worn (except on nights out where loafers become king). Reebok Classics or Nike Air Max are still the reigning style, although Adidas County trainers are becoming seen more widely. Transport comes from 'suped-up' cars which are often between 10 and 20 years old. The lower to the floor, the better. Swearing is a common factor of scally language, along with monoslylaabic terms, possibly due to the dropping out of education before GCSE's could be taken.

The female scally is often seen with a much older male scally. Hair is scraped back and heavily hairsprayed. Limitless amounts of make-up cover any blemishes, and the look is finsihed off with big hooped earrings. Clothes wise, tracksuit tops and tracksuit bottoms or jeans are preferred, along with the mandatory trainers. VPL always helps. Smoking and a young baby in a second hand pushchair are good accessories.

To find a scally, your best bet will be to parade the local big shopping mall, the local nightspots or, especaiily in seaside resorts, the main parade along the beach where numerous scally cars can be seen circling round, and round, and round...

A stupid twat who thinks addidas and kappa are still in fashion, hangs in a group of 10 to 20 looking to kick the shit out of 1 person most likley a rocker becauce there is plenty of them they will act hard and on there own they are pussys.

A member of a british subculture. Scallyism is particularly apparent in Liverpool.

The general traits of scallies:

They swear more than is necessary,
Get unnecessarily drunk, and smoke marijuana, because they think it is 'kewl'.
They have a tendency to be racist, homophobic, and abusive towards people who have different taste in music to Westlife, and different taste in clothes to tracksuits.
As the scally gets older, he/she'll normally spend his life claiming money from the government, due to not being able to get a job, as the marijuana has destroyed all the mental ability they had, and they spent all their school years attacking mentally ill and elderly people whilst under the influence of alchohol, instead of learning.
It is not uncommon for a female scally to get pregnant so she can claim child benefit, giving her enough money to buy that little bit more of cocaine at the end of the week. But most female scallies are stupid enough to have unprotected sex anyway.
They also happen to have the worst conversational skills, and the worst sense of humour in the world.

i am yet to find a scally girl i find attractive, i bet ya some of them are, but then they hide their beauty by making themselves look like they are going in for a part on Willy Wonka's chocolate factory as an Umpa Lumpa, with their bright orange or dull brown faces. The trackies they wear makes their arses look huge and saggy. As for the lads, with their bald heads making their heads REAL weird looking and odd shaped, also, making their ears look rather large and sticking out... Could you find that attractive? HA, no way.
Oh and of course their knuckles, in their attempt to 'out-scally' the other members in the group (and other people) they will hit random things, even walls, so that their knuckles are injured looking like they have had many fights. but realy, they just look like they have hit many walls, in most cases, this is true.

A scally are obvious to notice, PANTS TUCKED INTO THEIR SOCKS.
Typical scallies are the ones that often kick-off with anyone just to show their "bravery"
Half of them just get pissedall the time, at least 70% of them.
All alone, scallies are scared and are pussies, you say anything to them when they are alone, they have no words and start shaking.
Scallies are usually grouped up with a maximum of 5 people together, their brands totally suck, Fred Perry, Burberry etc.
If you ever see an ambulance pass by on a nightclub night, it's usually a typical scally kicking the total shit out of someone.
I hope all scallies burn in hell, especially for dissing Kurt Cobain and the rest of our styles.
